Account Name: StefanAnon Profile Name: Jack Southerland Nickname: N/A Age: 17 Gender: Male Height : 175 cm Weight: 69 kg Guild: N/A Class: D Affiliation: (Chaotic) Neutral – “I will do what serves me right. Nothing less, nothing more.” Appearance [tabs] [tab=Physical Description] Jack’s appearance would contradict the expectations that would automatically arise when one would be faced with the fact that the man had not too long ago been a slave. Upon first glance upon his physique, one would assume that the former slave had been selectively training his body. However, the tasks that he had undergone whilst under the ownership of another man had been the ones to shape him into whom he is to this day. The strenuous, continuous tasks have been reflected in his toned physique, with evident abdominal muscles, strengthened thighs, muscular chest, and strong arms- veins evident in certain places during moments of peak physical intensity, such as his neck and arms. Jack’s facial bone structure serves to show his strong character, with a strong, square jaw, lightly protruding cheekbones, and an overall oval face shape. His facial features serve to only keep up the façade of a regular human being. His black hair, contrasting his pale, white skin, falls behind his head in waves, often pushed from the front of his face to the back and to the side to ensure a clear line of sight. Despite almost being classified as a young adult, Jack’s face has little to no facial hair- requiring weeks in order for there to be any stubble under his trimmed sideburns. His eyebrows match the colour of his hair, shaped as strong, arched rectangular paths of hair that start as a straight line and end by gradually disappearing into the skin as they follow the shape of his bones. The former slave’s eyes are of a milder colour, ranging from a light brown to a dark brown, depending on the amount of light that meets his eyes; the brighter the environment and its light, the lighter the colour of Jack’s eyes. His brown, judgemental, hues have an almond shape, being at an equal distance from the bridge of the nose, and perfectly aligned to one another. They are closed ever so slightly, granting an additional air of recklessness to the appearance of the man. The bridge of the teenager’s nose resembles a short, straight line, starting from the space between his eyes, and travelling a minuscule distance downwards, culminating in a round tip, softly indented on each side, corresponding to the placement of his nostrils. The teenager’s pale, pink lips are of a small size, blending in with his skin tone, but creating a high contrast with the rest of his facial features. His ears are small and round, retaining normal facial proportions according to their placement, starting at the same altitude as the peak of Jack’s eyebrows, and ending at the same altitude as the end of his nose. Jack’s usual facial expressions reflect his views of the world, and his opinions regarding his own upbringing. When alone, his face will most often be void of emotion, lips formed in a straight line, eyebrows stable in their place, with the only wondering aspect being his eyes, carefully perusing his surroundings with a curious stare. His eyes may squint ever so slightly as his eyebrows would lower, perhaps at peculiar individuals or situations, dismissing them after the judgemental look had been solemnly delivered for a few seconds. Upon successfully completing a task, whether it be stealing an item, or defeating someone in a fight, the teenager will display a small, brief smirk as a sign of accomplishment. Jack’s stance is as healthy and as politically correct as possible, with a straight back that is almost parallel to the ground at all times, his chest pushed outwards, and his hands at the side of his body. However, his steps are usually small, and his arms do not swing far away from his body; thus restricting the male to his own personal restricted space that he does not exit unless he is to physically interact with someone, steal something, or flee from a crime scene- in which case, he will behave as much like a regular person as possible, going as far to alter his stance if necessary. Relatively skilled in non-verbal communication, Jack will change various features regarding himself if he believes it will prove to be beneficial to him, such as his stance, his facial expressions, and overall manner of being. These alterations will be made in order to suit the former slave, adopting a personality and body language that would help him attain his goals by befriending his targets. [/tab] [tab=Clothing] Previous to his current attire, the former slave had worn a lot of clothes, getting accustomed to a large palette of colours and a large type of materials. He had begun by wearing brown cloth, wrapped around his body and held together with a belt, progressing into wearing regular civilian clothes, such as white shirts, black trousers, and shoes, only to culminate with wearing clothing resembling an esteemed member of society- sporting a navy blue suit, with a corresponding trench coat, and adorned ornaments. Jack’s affiliation towards a darker palette of colours is not only reflected through his stereotypically dark and sombre behaviour, and his physical appearance, but also through his clothes. Jack’s usual attire comprises of a plain, long-sleeved black shirt, made out of cotton, which is covered by a brown leather jacket that is unzipped most of the time. The leather jacket itself is similar to the shirt, being as simple as possible, and displaying little to no ridges- the exception being the end of his sleeves, which are wrinkled up in order for them to be easily rolled up or down, as the wearer would grab onto them in an easier fashion than if the material were completely bland. On his legs, the young male often wears black jeans-held tight to his body without the need for a belt- which end just at the tip of his dark brown boots. His boots have a military design, having a hard tip, a strong base, and a protective layer on top, thus being relatively heavy for the wearer. [/tab] [tab=Other] Accessories: A silver pendant, engraved with the initials “J.S.” on the back. Extra: N/A [/tab] [tab=Gallery] Picture: - by Fumus[/tab][/tabs] Personality Independence. That is one of the things that Jack desires most. Being born and raised into slavery as the property of another man, being controlled and watched, as well as having every single aspect regarding himself, such as his spectrum of knowledge, skills, and schedule, be directed by another person has gradually driven this individual to desire for the opposite of what he has been told all of his life. Starting as someone's asset, Jack has grown into his own person, but yet he feels as if full independence is yet to come- and that many aspects need to change. These changes need to occur through progression, evolution, change; and the desire for all of those to heavily impact his life identifies the former slave as a glutton for power and freedom. The young adult deems these two aspects just as pivotal as independence. He believes that full independence can only come once he has completely detached himself from whom he had once been engineered to be, and that freedom will only be attained through personal, financial, and social power. Jack will do whatever he deems necessary in order to achieve his goals, whether they are the long-term goal of achieving independence, or short-term goals, such as exploring the world around him and developing his magic in order to ensure a sense of personal strength and security. Because of his determined nature and his ruthless mindset, the former slave can be described as cold and calculated. None of the steps that he takes are taken without prior thought and analysis of what might come in the future as a result of his actions. Because of his negative experiences regarding his interactions with other human beings, such as his interactions with other slaves that competed to climb the hierarchical ladder of slavery at any cost, the former slave has grown to be distrustful and resigned. Jack will not trust anyone that has not yet proven their loyalty towards him, or towards a common goal- and, even then, there might a small amount of doubt floating in his mind, ready to inflate and overcome his views of that person at the first possible opportunity. Due to this aspect regarding himself, it is difficult for Jack to develop inter-personal relationships, and prefers to be by himself. One would call him paranoid, but the young adult would rather deem himself as taking the necessary precautions in order to avoid an almost certain downfall. While his opinion regarding positive concepts, interactions, and individuals, are largely cynical and pessimistic, Jack retains a sense of curiosity for the world beyond the walls of what one would have him call home. This curiosity is reflected in his wandering eyes, carefully placed questions with vendors and travelling experts, or even personal conversations when he feels as if he is able to hold such a conversation. Whilst personal conversations are rather rare, as the male is taciturn most of the time, when these occurrences take place, he will be evasive and cryptic regarding information concerning himself, instead focusing on the other participants' personal lives. All the information that is obtained by Jack is then transfigured into a mental plan as to how he can manipulate someone else, but only if it is necessary, and if he will gain something from it. Pointless interactions and actions are something that Jack frowns upon, disregarding the concept of anything that will not, in one way or another, benefit him in the long run. In order for him to be able to devise plans clearly, and take on the world around him as it is, Jack has developed an open mind rather quickly, adapting to the world around him and to all the interactions that may occur within it. Jack is rebellious regarding concepts that he does not approve of, such as religion, politics, or any other form that could ever remind him of his tumultuous past- with a large amount of people working for the benefit of only one. Jack's disapproval may be expressed in many ways, as he is aware that not "every slave wants to be freed from their master", and, as such, public and outspoken disapproval may result in trouble and publicity that he does not want. Due to those facts, he will either attack, or hurt, the leading member of the capitalist system, and the system itself as a result. These expression of disapproval do not have to be physical, as Jack could very well steal from the leader, or hinder the productivity of their operations. However, Jack realises that he is not the most likeable person of all. In order to ensure that his natural and genuine self does not constitute as a barrier in his path towards freedom through power, the teenager will shift his personality in order to fit the situation and the individuals that he might want to interact with. If one person seems to be openly outgoing, then Jack will try to emulate that behaviour, or a similar behaviour, in order to gain the other person's trust. This transition to a different personality will not happen unless Jack has a moderate amount of time to plan and compose his new personality, or if he simply does not want to interact with that specific person- opting for his natural self instead. History History Weaponry/Equipment [tabs] [tab=Iron Dagger] Name: Iron Dagger Class: D Description: The dagger stands at about 50 cm long. It has no pommel, and its grip is made out of a dark brown wood, of approximately 30 cm long. The cross guard of the dagger is made out of iron and is slightly wider than the grip itself. The blade is akin to any other dagger, starting as a wide, solid, base next to the guard, and concluding with a sharp tip, a ridge almost splitting the blade in two parts. Effect/Function: The dagger does not have many uses other than harming an individual, due to the fact that it culminates into a sharp point, without having sharp edges. As such, it can be used to cut strings, ropes, or it can be thrown- depending on the situation at hand.[/tab] [tab=Leather Pouch] Name: Leather Pouch Class: D Description: This small object is made out of ridged and old light brown leather, being able to be closed only by a tight knot, as a result of a thin rope going across the few holes at the top of the pouch. The pouch is held inside of Jack’s leather jacket. Effect/Function: The pouch can hold a moderate amount of coins within it, or a small number of minuscule items, such as keys, manuscripts, small books, figurines, etc. [/tab][/tabs] Stats - 55 Power: 9 Endurance: 9 Toughness: 9 Speed: 9 Accuracy: 9 Magic: 10 Earned Stat Points Earned: 0/0 Arc Points Earned: 0/0 Jewels Earned: 100,000/100,000 Sources Sources Skills & Disciplines [tabs] [tab=Once a Thief, Always a Thief] Jack has been trained by Rushinko to be a thief. As such, he has gained a moderate amount of information and skill regarding lockpicking, pickpocketing, manipulating and deceiving others, as well as moving covertly. These skills have been progressively trained to a moderate level ever since childhood, but they have never been trained past an average level due to the his master's fear that the teenager would gain the necessary skill to permanently escape from his grasp. [/tab] [/tabs] Magic Magic Name: Shadow Manipulation Magic Type: Elemental – Shadow Tier of Magic: Tier 2 Rank: 2 Magic Description: Jack’s magic allows him to use shadows to his advantage. In order for his magic to take place, Jack channels the shadows nearby, converting them into energy that power his magical abilities, but only when his abilities are active. The shadows’ physical manifestations are not altered, but they act as an active pool of energy for the user- meaning that, if they are altered whilst any abilities are active, the abilities’ strength will be influenced by the change in shadows. However, the ability to use this magic is restricted by the presence of shadows nearby; if there are little to no shadows, Jack’s magic will have little to no strength, or not even be able to be used. As such, this ability is at its peak during the night, or in dark locations, and at its lowest in broad daylight, with no objects nearby to be used as a pool of energy. Techniques: 2/3 [tabs] [tab=Shadow Dash] Shadow Dash – Rank 2 Type: Movement – Dash Minimum Range: 2 meters Maximum Range: 4 meters Duration: 1 Cooldown: 3 Effect: By using the power attributed by the shadows around him, Jack uses his magic in order to dash a certain distance at a temporary increase of 20 speed points. As he does so, shadows can be seen coming from his body, opposing the direction that he has traversed. However, these shadows that lace his body during the dash disappear as soon as he arrives at his destination, and have no effect on himself, the environment, or anyone else. Also, in order for Jack to use this technique, he must have a line of sight and a line of egress. [/tab] [/tabs] Edited by StefanAnon, Aug 17 2016, 02:00 PM.

Very good app. Color me impressed. I'm going to need you to cite an actual speed increase in your technique though. We're all about the details, and simply saying "at increased speed" won't do it I'm afraid. Post here when you've edited as else wise it looks good to me. |

Please note how much tp you're actually using, which should be two since it is a rank 2 spell. It should look like 2/3 |
